Say Goodbye to Winter. Welcome Spring with an Organized Garage!
Does it sound strange to hear “clean” and “garage” in the same sentence? It’s really not an impossibility, even though garages are notorious for being messy, dusty, and thoroughly uninviting.
The aftermath of winter may be a garage with additional mess and clutter, including sports equipment, residue from salted winter roads and muddy boots. However, rather than closing the door on the chaos, make a plan to clean your garage. And once you’ve cleaned out the winter mess, here are some storage tips for maintaining your garage for maximum efficiency.
- Use plastic, lidded storage bins instead of cardboard boxes to protect stored items. Cardboard absorbs moisture, attracts pests and deteriorates over time.
- Transfer bags that can burst open and spill into plastic containers (pet food, sand, plant food).
- Create low-level storage with shelves, drawers, or baskets so kids can manage their own things like sports equipment.
- Keep the floor clear. Bulky items like camping tents, holiday decorations, and lawn furniture can be stored out of the way in overhead storage racks. Garden tools, even a wheelbarrow, can be hung on versatile slatwall.
- Purge, purge, purge! Get rid of items you no longer need or want. Donate or sell what is in good condition and throw away the rest.
A clean garage contributes to your whole house staying cleaner by eliminating tracked in dirt, oil, pollen, and anything else that could stick to the garage floor or your shoes. Investing in a low-maintenance floor for your garage is also key to maintaining a clean space. An unfinished concrete floor makes it almost impossible to keep your garage clean. Surface cracks and crevices attract and hold dust and dirt, and its porosity retains moisture that can facilitate the growth of mold and bacteria, creating an unhealthy environment.
